Eight-time LEC weekly award-winner, third consecutive this season.

Against WestConn, Mitchell won both games, going the distance with a seven-hitter in an opening 7-4 win, fanning seven and walking one and pitching the final 2 2/3 innings in an 11-10 second-game win. In that game, Mitchell struck out four and walked one, striking out the side in the top of the seventh before Eastern scored three runs in a walk-off win in the bottom of the inning. Mitchell began the week with a 13-0 complete-game five inning, one-hit shutout at Nichols College, striking out eight without a walk. She carried a perfect game into the fifth inning of that game. Mitchell also batted .333 during the week with six runs scored and four RBI with a .778 slugging percentage and .538 on-base percentage. This year, she has appeared on the mound in 13 of 18 games for the Warriors (12-6, 4-0 LEC) with an 8-2 record and 2.18 ERA and 59 strikeouts in 64 1/3 innings. She leads the LEC in complete games (8), shutouts (3), innings and strikeouts, is second in wins and third in starts (9). Offensively, the leadoff hitter is third on the team with a .365 batting average and leads the club in hits (19), runs (18), RBI (12), doubles (4), and extra-base hits (7).
